Arranger seizes Pamberi instruments

The San Juan-based steelband, Pamberi, yesterday had its steelpans seized following a levy by its former arranger. The band is said to be owing arranger Godwin Bowen for musical arrangements valued at $92,000 for the past five years. Bowen showed up with police officers at the pan site yesterday morning and confiscated steelpans as well as other items on the compound. Pamberi recently missed out on the Panorama finals by placing 16th in the semi-finals.
